Excerpt from An Autobiography and Letters, of the Author of "the Listener," "Christ Our Law," &C
The Editor considers it due to the memory of the subject of the memoir, which is placed at the commencement of the present volume, to state, that it was written by his beloved wife at different periods, as memoranda of the most important part of her life; intended to be continued from time to time, until they should be ultimately remodelled into a connected narrative.
She did not live to fulfil this intention; and it must therefore be remembered, that these imperfect records were never designed to be published in their present form; but well knowing her anxious wish to proclaim the Saviour's love to one who had despised and rejected him, and her conviction that by such an avowal, his grace would be magni fied, the editor deems himself entrusted with a sacred duty, which he cannot better perform, than by giving the narrative, scanty and imperfect as it is, in her own words. He presents it, therefore, Without comment, and unaccompanied with any particulars of her history subsequent to the period at which her own memoir closes.
